Plum

This is a extremely dark makeup look. This can be pulled of by anyone and is not the hardest look to complete. So shall we get to the products and our SBS (step by step tutorial on page?)

Products:
•Mac brush- 239,217,212
•Mac Paint pot in Painterly
•Mac e/s- Satellite dreams (lid), Sketch (crease), Carbon (Inner V), Gesso ( Highlight)
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black

Step 1: Using any finger apply a primer. Make sure to blend it in and apply it all over your lid. I am using Mac Paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into Satellite dreams. In a patting motion (up and down) apply this shade to your eyelid. You can apply as much as this dark purple as you want, for a extra "ompf" I added Hepcat right on top. I applied it in a patting motion just like Satellite dreams. Hepcat is no longer sold by MAC!

Step 3: Using a 217 blending brush go into Sketch. In a window shield motion blend the burgundy color into the dark purple. For more depth to the look I blended in Carbon. Using the same motion this shade should blend in fast.

Step 4: Using any eyeliner line your eyes like normal. Then extend the line a bit out so it makes a "Cat eye effect" make sure it is a straight line! In the corner of your eye make a triangle then connect it to the upper lash line. To make this look a bit more fluent looking I lined the lower lash line with black. I used Mac Carbon and I lined with a 212 brush from Mac too. 

Optional: I used mac Gesso and highlighted my brow bone and inner corner.

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Almost done removing ;]

Sugar Spice and Everything Nice

This was a extremely fun look to do and reminds me of sugar (the pinks and reds) and spice (the blue blended into the pink and red.) So shall we get started?

Products used:
•Mac paint pot in painterly
•Mac brush- 239,217, 212
•L'Oreal Runway pallet limited edition in "Charming Cockatoo"
•Mac e/s- orange, Copper, Carbon
•NYX e/s- Frosted Ocean

Step 1: Using a ring finger blend in your primer. I am using Mac Paint Pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and go into the first shade of the Charming Cockatoo pallet. It should be a light coral hued pink. In a patting motion which is up and down apply this color.

Step 3: Using a 217 go into Mac's Orange. In a window shield motion (back and forth) blend this color into the pink. Make sure to not pick up a lot of the color because it will look more orange hued than red. Now go into the shade copper. Take the littlest amount of the shade and make sure to blend this into the orange.

Step 4: Using the same brush go into NYX Frosted Ocean. In a back and forth motion blend this color in as the inner V. It will help add more depth to this look. The reason I opted in for a blue/black instead of a brick red is because I felt it added a nice contrast between the colors.

Step 5: I used a 212 brush and wet it with water then I dipped it into the eyeshadow called Carbon. Then I lined like normally a straight medium thick line. After all of that I applied mascara!

Purple Flurp Holiday look 5

This is my favorite look of this Holiday collection series. It is really gorgeous and it gives off a happy vibe! This has to be the most complicated look of the series but we will get trough it!
         

Products:
•Mac paint pot in painterly (base)
•Mac e/s- Seedy pearl (center of the lid), Sketch (inner V), Satellite Dreams (crease and near the tear duct of the eye), Hep cat ( blended in the crease)
• Mac brush- 239, 217
• NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black

Step 1: Apply primer. I am using Mac paint pot in Painterly. Using any finger blend this all over your eye.

Step 2: Pick up your 217 brush and go into Satellite dreams. Blend this color into your crease and near your tear duct. It is hard to explain at this point but, if you look in the photo to the right there is a purple then the shade Seedy Pearl that's were you will blend the shade Satellite dreams into in other words near the tear duct.

Step 3: Using the same brush go into Sketch, we want to deepen out crease so in a window shield motion (back and forth) blend this in. On the top of the deep maroon color blend Hepcat in right on top.

Step 4: Using a 239 brush go into Seedy pearl. Right in the middle of your lid blend this shade into the purple's on both sides. You can use a patting motion or a window shield motion. I used both so it would be vibrant and fluent looking at the same time.

Step 5: Using any eyeliner line your eyes like normal. Then extend the line a bit out so it makes a "Cat eye effect" make sure it is a straight line! In the corner of your eye make a triangle then connect it to the upper lash line. To make this look a bit more out there I lined the lower lash line with black. I used Mac Carbon and I lined with a 212 brush from Mac.

Good luck :D

Soft and Gorgeous

This look is very soft looking and at the same time very elegant. It can be done during the holidays since it is so subtle looking, well subtle looking without the extreme eyeliner! So how to we do this look and what do we need?

Products:
•Mac paint pot in Painterly (base)
•Mac e/s in Star violet (lid), Brun (inner "V"), Wedge (crease), Carbon ( lower lash line)
•Mac brush- 239,217,212
•NYC unnamed eyeliner in Pearl Black
• L'Oreal million lashes in black

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Mac paint pot in painterly

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and pat on the shade Star Violet. The patting motion is done by literally patting on your eyelid up and down.

Step 3: Take your 217 brush and go into the shade Wedge. Blend this shade in, then deepen the crease by applying the shade Brun. This should all blend in fine if you use a window shield motion!

Step 4: Pick up your eyeliner and line like you would normally. Then extend the liner so it should look like a cat eye. In the tear duct connect both sides and make a triangle of some sort. What I mean by "connecting both sides is connect the lower lash liner and the upper lash line together. Then I took a 212 and lined my lower lash line to make my look more fluent.

Egyptian eye Holiday look IV

This is a Egyptian inspired eye look. It can be worn for the holidays or for special occasions. Why not wear it out on a regular day? There is not a lot of blending needed to complete this look but you will need to know some basic blending skills like window shield motion. I hope you enjoy, this was a really fun look to complete!

Products:
•Mac e/s- Seedy Pearl (lid), Copperplate (inner crease), Carbon (lash line, inner crease), Orange (crease color)
•Mac brush- 239,217,212,231
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black
•NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 mac eye shadow brush and pat on the shade "Seedy Pearl."

Step 3: Now take your 217 brush and go into Orange. In a window shield motion (back and forth) blend this shade in. Since this shade has extremely neon coloring take very little of it from the mac shadow pan so it turns out like a copper. Taking a little amount will tone it down!

Step 4: Using the same brush go into Copperplate. We are going to use this shade to deepen out crease a bit more. Using the brush blend this shade in, since we want to deepen the crease when you blend make sure it "curves" with your eye shape. Using a little bit of the shade "Carbon" blend it into the shade copperplate. Remember use a back and forth and even up and down blending method.

Make sure to blend using a method that works for you!

Step 5: using a 212 go into mac's Carbon. Line your lash line using this, make sure you line the full lash line. Using a 231 blend the black in.

Step 6: Pick up your eyeliner and line like you would normally. Then extend the liner so it should look like a cat eye. In the tear duct connect both sides and make a triangle of some sort. What I mean by "connecting both sides" is connect the lash line and upper lash line's eyeliner together.

Make sure it all connects together when you are complete with lining!

Optional: add a highlight, I used Mac's Gesso.

Pink fluff!

Are you into this pink, fluffy look this fall and winter? Well I came up with a look using only 2 colors! I used the Lip stain by Revlon from the just bitten line. The color I used is called Sweetheart I applied this shade all over my lips and blended with my finger so it looked like a matte color. It needed a more delightful touch to it so I used Rimmel London Stay Glossy lip gloss in the shade Fuchsia Fever. It makes the look ultra beautiful :D

Holiday lips!

This is not a "Holiday look part ___" look so we are just going to call it "Holiday Lips!" This is a great lip look for this holiday and is as easy as brushing your teeth! There is not much to it except having a red lip color. I am using L'Oreal's infallible lip color in Beyonce red. It is super drying so I applied a red lip gloss by Maybelline in Red Patent on top. Since it is a liquid lip gloss it takes a few minutes to dry. Make sure when you use this red you make sure it is even looking, if you mess up a bit you can use concealer to make the mistakes "fade."

Smokey eye, Holiday look III

This is a smokey eye but I am marking it as a holiday look because it fits. The reason I feel it fits is because the warm brown reminds me of a frosty cold Christmas. Most people are probably not going to do a extravagant red and green makeup look, they will more than likely opt in for a smokey eye. Today we are going to go right to the products because I did a different sort of eyeliner look and I would like to explain it.

Products:
•Victoria Secret "Hey Bombshell" pallet. From the left first color, and the second to last shade in the same row it should be a purple. The last eye shadow row on the right, the last shade it should be a dark brown. The 4th row contains blacks, I went into the matte shade of black the second to last shade.
•Mac paint pot in painterly
•Mac brush- 239,217,231
•Mac e/s- Carbon ( used to line the lower lash)
•NYC unnamed liner in "Pearl Black" can be found at a drugstore!

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Mac paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 brush and go into the first color in the farthest left shade. It should be a pink, then in a patting motion apply this shade. using the same brush go into the second to last shade in the same row, it should be a purple. Right on top of the pink pat this on.

Step 3: Pick up your 217 brush and go into the last eye shadow to the farthest right it should be a dark brown with some bronze to it. In a window shield motion blend this color in. To deepen the crease we will go into the 4th row, it contains blacks. Go into the matte black and blend this into the inner V of the eye.


So far it should look like this!

The lid contains a pink shade with purple on top, brown in the crease and a black shade that deepens the crease. We also applied a highlight, this is optional but I recommend it! If you are going to go into a highlight chose something close to your skin tone or something light.

Now for the last step we have to apply eyeliner. Line your eye like normally then create a triangle at the corner of your eye also called the tear duct. Using a flat brush blend in a black eye shadow on the lash line so the "Triangle" does not look odd. Using a 231 Mac brush I blended the black out and I applied it to my waterline. Good luck :D!

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into the shade ' Naked Lunch ' in a patting motion apply this shade.

Step 3:  Now pick up your 217 and go into ' Wedge' in a window shield motion blend this shade in. Remember we want to keep this elegant and light sort of looking so don't over do how much product you apply.

Step 4: Line your eyelids with any eyeliner then apply mascara.

Holiday I

 This is my first holiday look! I really liked how this came out and the best thing is you don't need to do much of anything, well lets not get carried away you still have to do the blending part but it is super easy and effortless. I should really make a video so I can reference it! Today I also below listed the meaning of some words so it can help like the word "patting motion" it can often be mistaken for side to side motions.

So here is Holiday I

Vibrant and just the right colors to flow with this Christmas holiday coming up. You could possibly do this for Thanksgiving too which is on Thursday. Now what products did I use?

              • Mac brush's - 239,217
              • Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk
              • Maybelline Studio pallet in Forrest Fury, and Give me gold
              • NYC liner ( it is black and is called black pearl and has no name!)

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk!

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into the studio pallet in the pallet Give Me Gold. There are 5 colors go into the second shade from the left. In a patting motion'1' apply this true gold in the tear duct area also know pat up to the lid.

Step 3:  Now pick up your 217 and go into  the Forrest Fury pallet. There are 5 shades the first color we will be going into is the "V" shaped color. It should look like a dark Forrest green. In a window shield motion'2' blend this lovely shade in. Do not blend up to the eyebrow please! What may help you blend in keeping in mind it is really just back and forth and sometimes circular motions that make up blending.

Step 4: Using the same brush go into the shade from the left, I will call it "Limey." Using your same 217 blend it right on top of the Forrest green. I do this backwards, some people like to apply the lime first then in the inner V to add more depth apply the green. What ever works for you. Last but not least line your eyelids!

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.

Upcoming Holiday Looks/ Snow MUL

       It is getting colder out and Christmas is a month away. I have started sketching out some holiday looks for everyone. Some of the colors I have been using is MAC's Forgery and some deep greens and bright reds. Red and green really do go with Christmas and the spirit! If you are planning to complete a holiday look comment what you are going to do and some of the products as well! Some combinations you guys can do to brighten up this upcoming holiday month is reds, frosty whites, green, and surprisingly purple! Purple is a great alternative for a red I found it has that same sort of flare. I have started with "The Looks" though and I have one below with directions and everything.

      This upcoming holiday which is Thanksgiving can be a really tricky sort of eye makeup to do. Why so tricky you may ask? Well using the right golds, amber's really does matter it can change your whole look! If you have fair skin try using pure gold and antiqued copper's even amber! For medium skin tones opted in for pale golds and true tarnished browns. Lastly, for darker skin tones go for anything tarnished and even try going into a sparkly true black!

My look from the other day was a snow look, it goes with my lips which can be found on my Facebook page.

Tools:

Mac- 239, 224

Mac e/s - Forgery,Wedge, Carbon

NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eye. I chose Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. Using my ring finger I spread the color out.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 and go into the shade "Forgery". In a packing motion (Up and down) apply this color in the tear duct and lid area. This color packs fast but to get it to the "just right" stage like I did I repeated this step a few times. Grab your 224 and dip it into Wedge in a back and forth motion blend this into the crease to add depth.

Step 3: Line your eyes in a kitten eye look. To do the "kitten eye" line like normally and then pull from the end of your eye and make a arrow, thinking of it that way will help trust me!

Step 4: Apply mascara and you are done!

Items:

~Mac products~
•239,217
•Chrome Yellow e/s

~The rest of the products~
•NYX Jumbo eye pencil in MILK
•Maybelline eye studio in Forest fury
•NYC eyeliner in Pearl Black

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eye. I chose NYX Jumbo eye pencil in MILK. Using my ring finger I spread the color out.

Step 2: Next I grabbed my 239 and I dipped the brush into MAC's Chrome Yellow. In a patting motion apply this color. It took me a couple of times to get the yellow this vibrant but if you don't want to 'waste' product you can pat the shade on once, it is still going to be pigmented. Be sure to pat the yellow on all over the lid area.

Step 3: Put your 239 brush down and now pick up your 239. In the Maybelline pallet in Forrest Fury there are 5 shades we are using the V shaped color or the 4th shade in the pallet. Swirl your 217 in the shadow pan and then in a back and forth motion blend in the green. Make sure to blend it into the yellow as well. On the top of the forest green apply a light lime color which is in the pallet. It is the 3rd shade go into the color and in a back and forth motion on top of the darker green blend it in.

Step 4: Last but not least line your eyes I chose to do a cat eye effect!

Pinky Swear

Totally pink! The cool part is there was not much used in this look. Below is the steps and products used.

Products used~

•Mac brush- 239, 212

•Mac Pigment- Fuchsia 

•NYX Pigment- Baby pink

•Mac e/s in Carbon

•Mac paint pot in Painterly

Before I go into the steps I would like to tell everyone the trick to this look is wetting your brush's with a bit of water! No it will not ruin them but, it creates a more vivid application of the pigment.

Step 1: Apply any primer I chose Mac's paint pot in Painterly. With my ring finger I blend the base up to my eyebrow.

Step 2: With a drop of water wet your 239 brush then dip it into Mac pigment in Fuchsia. In patting motion I applied the fuchsia/pink all of my lid. You can go back into the pigment for more of a vibrant look if you like.

Step 3: With the same brush go into NYX pigment in Baby Pink. Right on top of the fuchsia pigment pat on the baby pink. Apply the pink were you would apply the lid color. Keep on patting the color on until it is bright.

Step 4: Line the eyelids with mac carbon. I used the 212 brush wet and went into the eye shadow. I lined in a cat eye look. To achieve the 'cat eye look' line like you would normal then pull out from a corner and connect the lines you have made.

OPTIONAL!

I added glitter using NYX glitter pallet in Paradise and tapped it in the corner of my eye and on my eyelid.

You Spark!

You sparkle :D

Items used:
•Mac 217,239
•Wet n Wild Mega sparkle in WHITE
•Mac e/s- Orange, Chrome yellow, Improper copper, GESSO
•Mac paint pot in Painterly

Steps below!

• First apply a primer. I am using Mac paint pot and I applied this with my ring finger and blended it up to my brow bone.
• Next grab your 239 brush and Mac Chrome Yellow. In a patting motion which is up and down apply the vivid yellow. I put the yellow all over my eyelid but you may not want to do that because it does make blending harder.
• Now grab your 217 and go into orange. Right on top of the yellow blend this color in a side to side motion. To make this color more red/copper I used Mac improper copper and blended it into Mac Orange.
• Lastly I switched back to my mac 239 and applied glitter on top of the yellow. The glitter is Wet n wild's mega sparkle in white. To apply this all you have to do is pat it on, as you can see in the photo I did use alot but you don't have to.
• The last step is to line your eyes and apply mascara. To line I did a cat eye affect which you can do by first lining a straight line. Then extend the line and make it thicker. When you do this step you will see as you extend the line will get thicker.

Natural #2

 This is another natural eye but this time I am using different colors and tools. I was experimenting with my cream liner in plum and i though why not do a natural smokey look with a vibrant touch!

     Items used:
•Mac brush- 224,239,212
•Mac e/s- Copperplate, Gesso, Wedge
•Wet n wild Cream Liner in Purple
•Mac paint pot in painterly

Step 1: Apply primer all over your eyelid using your ring finger. Blend the primer up to the brow bone.

 Step 2: Grab your 239 and mac eye shadow in GESSO. In the corner of your eye apply the vivid white then apply it on the eyelid. 

Step 3: Grab your 224 brush and dip it into Copperplate. In a back and forth motion also called window shield motion blend the soft brown into the white. This brush is super fluffy so if you are not the best blender you will still get fabulous results because it is made to smoke out looks. On top of the brown apply a titch lighter shade. I oped into wedge, with the same brush blend the color right on top of the brown. Sometimes people find it easier to blend on top of the crease so what ever works best for you!

Step 4: Using a 212 flat brush go into the cream liner. I did a cat eye but you can always keep it simple.

Candy Corn

Hey guys this is a Halloween look I did yesterday and I was inspired by candy corn!
I have step by step below and the products used!

         
Items used:
•Mac e/s in- Orange,Chrome Yellow
•Elf complete the look pallet- red
•Mac - 224,239,217
•NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk

Step 1: Apply a primer. I used Nyx jumbo eye pencil in milk. To apply the primer I used my ring finger and blended it up to my brow bone.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and Mac eye shadow in orange. In a patting motion pat on the orange color. Apply the color all over the eyelid. Using the same brush go into Chrome Yellow blend it in a side to side motion make sure you keep the yellow in the middle of your eyelid. You can add as much of the color as you want just make sure it blends and looks fluent.

Step 4: In the ELF pallet there is a red which is in the 7th column 6th row. Using a 224 dip your brush into the color and blend in a windshield motion which is back and forth. Do not blend the red into the orange on the lid, blend on top of it. You can pack on the red since it may be a little sheer. The way to do that is take your brush and go into the color and blend side to side then repeat the same step until you are satisfied.

Step 5: Apply liquid liner and create a cat eye shape
